Ah, Labor Day. Time for a moment to relax and look over the past year and gear up for the next. The Good News is that the sequester is almost over. The Bad News is that the federal government has become so dysfunctional with arguing that it has become the norm making the sequester look minor. More Good News is the revenue being generated by the Eagle Ford. The Bad News is that the state government (and to some extent the local government) has become so dysfunctional with arguing that it has become the norm making the benefits look minor. Other Good News is that we have gotten some rain and water levels are rising. The Bad News is that the local government has become so dysfunctional with arguing that it has become the norm making the drought look minor. See a pattern?

For all those who work for a living (and have to put up with all the bickering), HAPPY LABOR DAY!
